1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Methylphenidate (MPH) remains an important therapy for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, but aspects of its pharmacology remain unclear. In the present study, we used a regimen of MPH (8 mg/kg daily×14 days) in C57BL/6J mice to determine whether establishing locomotor sensitization to MPH influenced the acquisition and the dose-response function of MPH in a classic drug discrimination procedure. MPH-sensitized mice (SENS group) showed enhanced locomotor activity to the 8 mg/kg exposure dose as well as a 2 mg/kg dose before discrimination training. However, the SENS mice did not acquire discrimination of either a low dose (2 mg/kg) or a higher dose (4 mg/kg) of MPH any more rapidly than the CTRL mice. Further, during generalization testing, the dose-response functions for the SENS and CTRL mice were identical. Therefore, we did not find that previous exposure to MPH, which produced a sensitized locomotor response, facilitated MPH discrimination.
